넘는

This is the 350th most frequent Korean word.


넘는

"Exceeding" or "going over."


Here, "넘는" is derived from the verb "넘다, to go over," and describes parts of the river that are excessively deep and wide to be traversed.

그 강은 우리가 건너기에는 너무 깊고 넓게 넘는 곳이 많다.

The river has too many deep and wide parts for us to cross.


In this case, "넘는" refers to exceeding or surpassing a value (here, age over fifty).

그의 나이는 이미 오십을 넘는 중년입니다.

His age has already exceeded fifty, and he is middle-aged.


Here, "넘는" is used to describe the action or state of crossing over the mountain pass.

그 산의 고개를 넘는 길은 매우 험합니다.

The path crossing the mountain pass is very rough.
